Another load of engine parts, unfortunately I ordered the wrong pushrods so I'll have to ship the ones I got back.  I accidentally ordered preassembled stock-length ones from CB, and I need the cut-to-length ones.  My personal favorite of the bunch is the rockers, arguably the lone real performance parts of the bunch.

Very neat p&c kit there, Richard. Makes the EMPI birals & slipper skirts look common place!

DDS DCN carb kit with unported manifolds!

Linkage is a bit scrappy but that can be fixed with pilfering parts from the Bugpack repro

I plan on using this kit on my '64 sunroof

Why not trade in the DCN's for a set of 48IDA's and Deano manifolds ?

I finally got my Nardi steering wheel! It was sent from Japan at the beginning of February, Parcelforce didn't tell me it was in the country (they didn't send the customs form or the reminder) so I had to chase it, only to find it was due to be sent back to Japan! Eventually got it, and very pleased.

i used to be able to buy these easily in the mid 90s, these are HKB boss kit japanese made, very high quality, cast boss kit with crinkle powdercoating, for Nardi steering wheels.

got 2 types, one is for the 60s, cant remember what shaft diameter. the other is for smaller shaft, written in japanese they are for porsche 924, audi 80 and vw 1303...i wasnt really sure if i could use it, not familiar with later models, in some remote area so i took the risk and bought them all...LOL
